@marceelias @HillaryClinton As Rev. Jesse Jackson said: Hillary Clinton “lost” because of a set-up. Rather, she wasn’t inaugurated because of 34 crimes.

So do we say that Trump “won”? “Steal” seems the more accurate term.

We need to replace Trump.

All 34 counts guilty.

Oh my god. Tears of jubilation.

I have no idea where this video is from. I found it on Reddit, but this explains humanity so well.

This man walks into a Chinese Restaurant for takeout. He immediately begins speaking perfect Chinese, with a perfect accent.

He has a conversation with the staff, who calls him "one of us," and then they proceed to give him his food for free.

This is humanity. Everyone should take a chance to learn about others, identify with others, and empathize with others. We often see more racist people in small towns rather than in large cities. This isn't necessarily their faults.

This is because racism is mostly built on "the unknown" and people tend to fear the unknown. Once you get to know people and befriend people from other races, religions, sexual orientations, gender ideologies, and ethnicities, you have a tendency to better understand where they come from.

This is why learning about other cultures, religions, and even languages is so important. It's why studying history, and sociology are important.

Reach out to someone you don't identify well with and try to learn about them today. It will help humanity tomorrow.

Hey, Clarence Thomas?

Go fuck yourself, you fascist snowflake

And if you want to serve America, turn your wife in to the authorities https://t.co/iN43U3EcZr

“My wife and I, the last two or three years, it’s been – just the nastiness and the lies – it’s just incredible."

Cry me a river, you sexual harasser, opportunistic grifter, and treasonous POS.

It can’t be repeated often enough: Aileen Cannon isn’t your normal judge. She’s an aberration, a corrupt freak. History will judge her harshly. If “judges” like her ever become unremarkable in America, we will most assuredly go down the tubes.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

If Trump really was innocent of the charges, he’d be champing at the bit to testify in court under oath.

He’s guilty as sin.

[Kenny BooYah! 🖖🏾 @KwikWarren]

I still haven’t figured out how she got to be a got damn governor. I mean WTF?!

[Joe @HarryHipster3]

I wonder WHEN @TheJusticeDept and the @FBI will make the statement that TRAITOR TRUMP is NOT AUTHORIZED to handle CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS again due to past handling and misuse?
Others who do same can NEVER get job handling U. S. SECRETS. Where are you #MerrickGarland

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

It's insane that we're just allowing Clarence Thomas to continue to serve on the Supreme Court, despite accepting millions in gifts from billionaires?

Despite the fact that his wife was knee deep in January 6th sedition and he hasn't recused himself??

He has the audacity to complain about "nastiness" because people are calling out his blatant corrupt behavior on the court?

This is BULLSHIT.

If there ever was a Supreme Court Justice who deserved to be impeached, it's Clarence Thomas.

[Nicole Minét @mouvement33]

@MichaelRapaport Get religion out of your politics. We're all upset about the war for admirable reasons. But this decision of yours means you are responsible for a vote for Trump. Why do people on the left go hard right when they feel PERSONALLY betrayed by Biden? Seriously, why?

[Irishrygirl @irishrygirl]

@MichaelRapaport You think the hostages will survive 2000 lb bombs? Stop it. It’s been months of bombing and shooting, starving and disease and Bibi has only gotten 30 hostages released? To quote Carlin, bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity

[Joe @HarryHipster3]

@TheGeneral_0 @MichaelRapaport @MZHemingway 🤣🤣🤣

[Joe @HarryHipster3]

@MichaelRapaport You are stupid. Bombs will kill all hostages.

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

Judge Cannon obviously doesn't want to try this case.

As I said a year ago, and again here today "the government should file a motion for her to recuse so the case can be assigned to another judge."

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

JUST A REMINDER:

Merrick Garland isn't on trial.
Fani Willis isn't on trial.
Stormy Daniels isn't on trial.
President Biden isn't on trial.

Donald trump IS on trial.
Stop making excuses for him.
He's a grown fucking man who did crimes.

And he's UNFIT to serve.

Jamie Raskin says the Republican Party has been taken over by an absolute conman and they are acting like members of a religious cult!

Drop a 💙 and Repost if you agree with Rep. Raskin!

1/ I am so tired of him.

I am tired of his face. I am tired of his style of speech. I am so tired of his lies. I am tired of his bluster, his narcissism. I am tired of his fraud and his crimes. I am tired of the relentless news coverage and the danger he poses to democracy.

I am so tired. Read on for why.👇

His Face

Or, more specifically, his facial expressions. Let’s start with the pout. It’s his way of trying to look tough, but he can’t pull it off because he isn’t tough. If we’ve learned nothing else in the last eight years, it’s that he’s a perpetually aggrieved child who can never find satisfaction and who blames everything bad that happens to him on everyone else.

Then there’s the sneer, which is worse. He saves it for those occasions when he scores a point against a perceived enemy — like getting the Mike Johnsons and Ron DeSantises of the world to come to Mar-a-Lago to kiss his ring, or on those alarming occasions when he gets away with breaking a norm (or a law) or, maybe even worse, when he gets an assist from an increasingly corrupt institution like the Supreme Court.

Together, the pout and the sneer perfectly encapsulate the tension that exists between his arrogant belief that he is utterly untouchable and his desperately fragile ego and unconscious sense that he is a weak, terrified little boy.

His Style of Speech

He just won’t stop talking. And the longer he speaks, the more he lapses into a stream of consciousness that defies logic or meaning. There is no nuance, no attempt to be coherent, no aspiration to eloquence.

Word Choice: Everything is always terrible or incredible. It is always like nothing you’ve ever seen. There are no shades of gray; only the black and white of hyperbole, because if it is in any way related to him or his enemies, it must be the best or the worst.

Asides and Non Sequiturs: He meanders without ever really getting to the point, and along the way he veers off onto a totally unrelated topic. He could be talking about nuclear weapons and then launch into a monologue about water pressure or lightbulbs while his supporters wait for a conclusion he never draws.

Repetition: When he wants to drive home a point, he doesn’t just repeat it once, he repeats it incessantly. He pounds it down. Repetition reinforces his message,even as it hides the lack of substance and factual information — and his brand of simple-minded patter makes it all the more effective. As Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for Nazi Germany put it, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” In cognitive psychology, this is known as the “illusory truth effect.”

Rhetoric: He speaks down to the lowest common denominator and doesn’t hesitate to call on his followers to commit violence on his behalf, riling them up with promises to pay their lawyers or otherwise offering them immunity. It is the coward’s way, but he excels at it.
And here lies his disturbing resemblance to cult leaders. They, too, traffic in simplistic tropes and make vague promises; they see themselves as unique, chosen, and, in some cases, divine; they create a clear division between their group (the “chosen” ones) and the out group (the “enemy” or “other”). Cult leaders dehumanize the other, portraying them as inferior or inhuman (“vermin”).

Sound familiar?

When you hear that voice, rambling, repetitive, and threatening, remember: it’s not empty noise — he’s preying on the vulnerability of his followers, who at this point seem almost incapable of listening to any voice but his.
